Both assertion and reason are correct and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Answer 2

Assertion (A) : Virtual images are always erect

Reason (R) : Virtual images are formed by diverging lenses only.

• Assertion is true , but reason is false.

But why ??

• First of all, when object is kept in erect position, virtual images will be always erect. In that case , magnification will always be positive. So, Assertion is true.

• However, both convex and concave lens can form virtual image. So, both converging and diverging lens can produce it. So, reason is false.

• Please remember that : virtual images are those images that form behind the mirror or lens and cannot be projected on screen.
